How To Measure Treadmill Miles: A Guide To Accurate Running Distance Stats
How much is a mile on a treadmill, anyway? If you’ve been a frequent treadmill user, you’ve probably wondered about that—and if you’re designing a super precise workout plan, you need to get the exact statistics down to get the best results.
SOLE Fitness wants to give you a detailed response to this FAQ in the latest installment of its in-depth exercise guide series. Access it now for free at https://www.soletreadmills.com/blogs/news/how-much-is-a-mile-on-a-treadmill.
How does treadmill measurement work?
The simple answer is that your treadmill tracks distance by counting the rotation of its belt. However, the reality is that accurate figures can be difficult to pin down because the difference between treadmill miles and road miles changes with extended use, as treadmill belts can move differently over time—making workout data inaccurate.
This is why SOLE Fitness recommends calibration every six to 12 months.
“Accurate distance readings are important for training,” the company says, noting that it’s a key step that many users overlook. “It means you know exactly how far you’ve gone, which helps you track progress, set goals, and make sure you’re challenging yourself. But it can also make other stats—like calories burned—more accurate.”
What treadmills are best for distance calibration?
The company retails several treadmills that you can calibrate quickly to keep your measurements precise. Their F6X series has a starting price of $1,199.99, and each model has an easy-to-read LCD screen and a 20″ x 60″ running surface.
The more professional-grade F8X series offers machines more akin to the latest treadmills in commercial gyms, each with a touchscreen display. These begin with the 10.1-inch display on the F80, while the F85 has a 15.6-inch screen, and the F89 has a 21.5-inch screen. The machines also hold more weight than the F6X models, and both the F85 and F89 have decline functionality.
Alongside the above-mentioned models, SOLE Fitness has two non-folding treadmills for dedicated home gyms: the ST90 and TT8, built with sturdier frames and more robust belt designs.
Every purchase from SOLE Fitness includes access to the SOLE+ workout app. You can connect this via Bluetooth, streaming on-demand videos through your phone or tablet, allowing you to use guided workouts whenever you want to train.
During the ordering process, you can choose to have any of the treadmills delivered to a specific room in your building—and as an optional add-on, professional assembly is also available.
